Don't Believe the Hype
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
This is damn near perfect in every way, all the things that WB got wrong with Suicide Squad (and they have got everything wrong), DC animations got just right. The villains! Oh my God! The villains! The Joker! All hail the voice acting of Troy Baker as the Joker, rivaling only the performance of Mark Hamill in other DC animations. If you are a DC fan, you have to watch this movie, it's everything you wanted Suicide Squad to be, but came out of the theater saying "WTF was that?", this is everything that's right about the concept of Suicide Squad, and nothing of the cringe worthy stuff that we've gotten in the theatrical live action release. This movie is dark, gritty, bloody and mature, a true animated masterpiece!
I'm not very familiarized with the Batman Arkham video game series, but I certainly liked this movie very much!Something that highlights this this movie from the other animated Batman films is that the story is told from the point of view of the villains in contrary to the others. This made the film more interesting because we get to know them better.The animation was excellent (especially Batman and Harley Quinn) as well as the brilliant score from Robert J Kral. Although this movie was somewhat an animated version of Suicide Squad, Assault on Arkham is a lot more violent and has more sexual content than Suicide Squad, even tough it is animated. Definitely not for very young children, unless they're mature enough to handle it.Overall, definitely worth to watch if you wish to know more about the members of the suicide squad and even if you don't like animated superhero movies, believe me...this one will really surprised you.Thank you for reading! I hope it helped you.
After seeing the live action Suicide Squad movie, I was less than pleased. after reading several other people's reviews I couldn't stop hearing how much better this straight to Blu-ray movie was, and spoilers.... They were all right! Assault on Arkham (a prequel to the Arkham Games) is a surprising little gem. This movie does the Suicide Squad justice and is much more mature and violent than its live action "successor". Most of all, It's self aware and isn't afraid of poking fun at it's source material and some lesser known Batman villains. I loved it and I think you'll love it to. at the very least give it a rent from amazon or netflix.
With "Suicide Squad" coming out in a few weeks, it's gonna have to be pretty good to beat this. Everyone and their mom is gonna have an opinion on "Suicide Squad", but I'm only gonna really see it for one reason, Joker. The only thing I care about is how Jared Leto plays Joker. I don't care about Will Smith, or Margot Robbie, or anybody else in this movie, just Joker. But I'll get to that when I actually see "Suicide Squad", this on the other hand is great. The action's great, the story's great, the animation's awesome, it has everything except one thing. I don't know if it's just that I have this movie on Blu-ray, but during the first half of the film the audio BLARES during action scenes, even on low settings. I've watched this twice on two different TVs, so it might just be the version I have, but I still found it distracting. Everything else though, is top notch. Also, props to Troy Baker for playing a great Joker, I already adore Troy for everything else I know him from, but he nails Joker in this. So I guess the best way to end this review is to say, if you end up not liking "Suicide Squad", just watch this. That's what I'm gonna do if I don't like it.
